Rishi Latchmepersad

Rishi was born in a rural town called Barrackpore in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago. He spent much of his teenage life playing online video games like many of his peers. However, since Barrackpore was such a remote location, Internet access services were basically non-existent at this time, driving him to constantly research new ways for better Internet access services. This led him to develop a passion for the field of telecommunications, always hungry to learn the latest developments in IP services, data center infrastructure and other telecommunications-related topics. He studied assiduously to earn the Network+ and Security+ certifications from CompTIA, the CCENT and CCNA R+S certifications from Cisco, and a variety of other certifications from organisations such as Hurricane Electric and LACNIC.
